In an interview with Arts & Culture, she explained that the realisation brought her to an understanding that a lot of people are probably broken but they do not know. She said looking at how brokenness affects individuals, families and communities, she thought it would be best for her to sensitise Batswana about it. “I believe that by being aware of your brokenness and confronting it, a lot of societal problems we see today would be dealt with. My book is a memoir. I chose a memoir because I wanted to speak from my heart. In a world where there is a lot of pretense and keeping up appearances, I thought it would be best to address struggles that individuals face on a daily basis in their lives,” she said.
Chisiyanwa was born in Selebi-Phikwe and raised in Francistown. She comes from a family of five. She studied at the University of Botswana. She pointed out that her book targets everyone regardless of their differences because all of them go through experiences that have potential to leave them broken if they do not deal with such situations properly. As you go through the book, you could be able to contextualise your experiences and hopefully see your story in hers. However, she said people who had father issues would relate more to the book.
